Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 800

Chapter 800 The Rival’s Confrontation

 

Toby hummed earnestly in response as he replied, “I got it, and I’m drinking it right now.” As he said this, he took up a spoonful of soup and slurped it loudly. “Hear that?”

Sonia laughed and nodded. “Yes, I heard it. How is it? I stewed it for ages just to get the flavor right.”

“It’s delicious,” he answered with a firm nod. Then, his brows drew together as he added, “Tom was here too, and he wanted to give a taste after he saw how good it looked. He even asked me if I could spare him some.”

“Oh?” She raised a brow in amusement. Sonia then laughed and said, “If he truly thinks that way, then I must have displayed exemplary culinary skills.”

“I didn’t let him try it, though,” Toby said huffily on the other line. “You made the soup for me, and it’s mine—all mine! No one else gets to have it.”

Upon hearing his stubborn tone, Sonia couldn’t help being entertained. “That’s a little selfish of you, isn’t it?”

“Not at all.” He shook his head slightly. “I’m just trying to protect what’s mine, so how is that selfish? Besides, you said you made the soup for me. It wouldn’t seem right to let someone else have it too.”

 

“That’s true,” she agreed with a nod. She was admittedly gratified to hear how defensive he was over something she gave him. After all, it wasn’t a pleasant feeling to know that the gift one gave a person was passed on to another. It’s a good thing to see him appreciate the soup so much, she thought with a smile.

Just then, she remembered something and said, “By the way, Anya apologized to me today.”

Toby stopped drinking his soup when he heard this, but quickly regained composure as he nodded. “Well, as long as she apologizes.”

 

He had thought about getting someone to give her a reminder if she didn’t apologize to Sonia in the next two days. After he swallowed his soup, he then asked, “What was she like when she apologized?”

He had been too busy today to follow up on these things, much less even hear about it.

Sonia sputtered as she said, “What was she like, you ask? Disgusting.”

He frowned at this and asked, “What happened?”

“I mean, it’s not actually a big deal or whatever, but…” She went on to tell him all about Anya’s apology and the way she had gone about it.

After hearing the details, Toby frowned.

Sonia rubbed her temple in a tired manner and said, “All in all, she basically misled the netizens.”

“I’ll get Tom to handle this,” Toby offered in a stone-cold voice.

She shook her head. “There’s no need for that. Daphne offered to take care of it too, but I turned her down. It’s not like Anya and I are ever going to cross paths again, so I’ll let this die off on its own. I never expected a genuine apology from her anyway, and I thought she might have had some dirty tricks up her sleeve. I guess you could say I saw this coming, and whatever she did was not surprising at all. She’s such an attention-seeking person that the more we try to get back at her, the more she would pester us. Let’s just ignore her from now on.”

 

The gloomy look on Toby’s face waned after he heard this, and his tone was considerably less stony as he muttered, “Fine, I’ll let this go.”

Although he sounded like he was willing to turn a blind eye to this, he had no plans of doing so. After all, he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt Sonia without paying the price. She was kind-hearted, but he certainly was not.

 

He had been merciful enough to give Anya a way out when he asked her to apologize to Sonia. Little did he know that the girl would end up making trouble when she could have had an easy escape.

In that case, she will reap what she has sowed.

At the thought of this, Toby narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Meanwhile, on the other line, Sonia smiled when she heard that he was going to let this matter go. Alas, she had no idea that the petty and vengeful man she called her lover was already planning to get Anya back for her misdeeds.

Following this, they moved on to another topic, and they hung up the call shortly after exchanging words of affection.

“Tom,” Toby called for his assistant as soon as he set his phone down.

Toby made a small noise of agreement and waved to dismiss him. “Well then, please get to it.”

“Yes, sir.” Tom turned on his heels to leave the office.

Now that he was left alone, Toby glanced at the thermal container and decided to wash it in the adjoining kitchenette.

But before he could lift a finger, his phone rang again.

Toby took his phone out to check the caller ID with a frown on his face, and a look of astonishment flickered in his dark eyes for a moment. However, he quickly snapped out of the initial shock and thought, Why is he calling me out of the blue?

Toby pursed his lips. He had no intention of answering the call, so with a decisive swipe of his thumb, he rejected it.

However, he had only just dismissed the call for a few seconds before his phone buzzed again. The ringtone was starting to sound like a hymn at some point, and he had a feeling that the person would not stop calling until he picked up.

Toby’s face was dark as he picked up the phone impatiently and pressed it to his ear. “What do you want?” he barked unhappily. He was clearly irritated, and if it weren’t for the fact that the person might go to Sonia and make up ridiculous lies to paint him in a bad light, he wouldn’t have picked up the call in the first place. In fact, he would have turned off his phone right away.

On the other line, Charles’ thunderous voice roared, “What the hell are you up to, Toby? Did you get Sonia into trouble again?”

He was currently sitting in his office chair. He had one hand on the phone and the other clenching the edge of the desk. He was so angry that the veins near his temples were throbbing, and his handsome face had turned red with fury. Even his eyes were growing bloodshot as well. He looked like he could kill, and his body was trembling with rage.

Anyone could tell that he was close to bursting into flames, looking as though he might even explode.

Again? The air around Toby grew cold when he heard this word, and his face was sullen. There was fury in his eyes as he demanded venomously, “Don’t be ridiculous, Charles. When and how did I get Little Leaf into trouble again?”
